Actually the $2500 price is only for the ProTools Hd version of the Elite suite, so..... ????

I positively demand that his next post is titled

"which is the best SSL desk, the Duality or the Matrix?"

just to show some progression.

Bruce Swedien reckons the Harrison series 32 desk as used to mix MJ's 'Thriller' was best.

I used a Neve 8128 a while back, that sounded great too.

for all of you pwning ppls information I have a good job and a good life so I dont care how much I spend on this and that I have been really busy getting where I am today. so I would congratulate someone like myself not try and make fun of them or get jealous because they can go from $250 to $2500 without thinkin twice. that is just a difference of bank accounts.

I don’t think anyone’s ragging on you for being well off. The point is from your other posts, you seem to be fairly new to this game and top end mastering software may not be the best way to spend your cash. On top of that I can scarcely think of a more boring way to blow $2500. It really is no fun what so ever.

Unless by “good life and good job” you mean seriously minted, and $2500 really is nothing to you. In which case- well done, and good luck with the software. And make sure you have some real nice hardware to go with it.

we are not making fun of you because you have the money to buy good things, but the way you have bought something that was totally not necessary.

here's an example:

Dear forum : I'm thinking of learning to ride a motorbike, does anyone have any tips on what bike to get? For my first attempt at riding I am thinking of buying a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10r

You see - if you wanted to 'sound better' then there are a number of quite easy steps to take. These involve learning, understanding, trying out various demo tools, practicing, and then purchasing one that is appropriate to you. As with my ZX example, it is not about the cost of the purchase (who cares!), but what you purchased being appropriate to your needs/requirements.

If I buy a ZX-10r does that make me ride better?
No, because learning how to ride better makes me ride better.

Sorry, that's just the way it is. But have fun with your plugins anyway, at least they won't wrap you around a tree like a ZX would!

for windows pc? I have live too so I dont know if a vsti would be best?
And I forgot to ask: You’re not former RBS boss, Sir Fred “the Shred” Goodwin, are you?

Nevermind. UK humour.

Joking aside, I think you'll really want to pay attention to Tarekith's question, right here:
